Twelve Drummers Drumming

The Twelve Drummers (actually one has a triangle rather than a drum) are made from clothes pegs.

The pegs are painted to give each figure black trousers with gold stripes and either a red or blue jacket. The jackets are completed with red or blue felt sleeves.  The drums are painted cork with cotton bud drum sticks (each stick is half a bud) and the triangle is wire with a pin to strike it.  The figures are pegged onto a chocolate filled drum.

The drum has been made from a plastic chocolate box, pained with craft paint and with gold thread on the outside.
